Dependency Sources

This page collects the places to check for updates of our dependencies. The detailed update instructions are in Dependency Updates. See also Release Process.

Policy

• Beta or release candidate releases should be bundled only under exceptional circumstances.
• New releases should be bundled in nightly builds for at least a week before a release. Unless there's a compelling reason (like fixing a serious bug) dependencies should not be updated in the bundle repositories in the last week before a release.

Flatpak only

Gnome Runtime

Gnome Gitlab tags represent available runtimes. Change the runtime-version value in org.gnucash.Gnucash.

Updates every half year. As only the last two versions are maintained, we should update ASAP.

Others

Google Test, Boost, Guile, LibDBI, SWIG, and the MySQL/MariaDB and Postgresql connectors are fairly stable and GnuCash doesn't depend on or even necessarily want the latest features.They should not be routinely updated.
